Farmhouse Photo Serving Tray

Elegant MCM Tallboy in Cast Iron Black with Natural Wood Accents

Elevate your space with this exquisitely reimagined Mid-Century Modern tallboy chest. Once bearing a pale, dated finish, it now stuns in a rich cast iron black, beautifully contrasted by solid wood drawers finished in a warm, natural stain. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated—from the elegantly updated black hardware to the refined moldings and drawer groove accents. Smooth-gliding feet have been added for effortless movement across both hardwood and carpet. Measuring 34" W x 17.5" D x 40.5" H, this sophisticated piece offers both function and timeless style—an instant statement in any well-appointed room.

From mass produced dark to one of a kind farmhouse white finish for this photo display serving tray.

Here is the before shot prior to the glass being removed and all pieces cleaned well.

Here are my farmhouse projects ready to do all in Dixie Belle Paint in drop cloth; a pretty warm white: An antique solid wood tray, a pretty basket and this photo tray along with this black tray that is being milk painted grey.

And here they are getting coat #1 of the drop cloth. I recently did a solid wood dining table in it too.

Two coats of drop cloth were painted on then sanded smooth and a bit of distressing to reveal the original dark wood. It was all sealed with Dixie Belle's easy peasy spray wax with additional detailing with a dark wax to give an aged appearance.
